Summer Academy

Raider School

August 13-22, 2018

The JROTC Department of St. John's Northwestern Military Academy started the Raider School in fall 2014. Due to its success, we are expanding it to afford other Raider programs the opportunity to qualify their Raiders for Raider Challenge.

Raider School is designed to give young men and women the opportunity to expand their knowledge, enhance self-confidence, and develop themselves both individually and as a member of a team. The Raider experience will allow them to stretch their physical, emotional and mental limits by operating outside their normal comfort zone. We believe there is no such thing as tough. You are either trained or untrained.

This school will afford cadets the opportunity to be highly competitive both regionally and at the national level among hundreds of other programs. Cadets who earn a place on the competing team will have opportunities to travel all over the country for Raider Challenge Meets including Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri and Hawaii. Non-SJNMA participants who graduate from the SJNMA Raider School will be better qualified for their school's Raiders Challenge team.
